When you say "wider", how wide do you mean? And, for comparison's sake, what width road bars do you ride? (IIRC, you're a roadie as well.) I'm using a bar that's comfortable for me, but I know that it's narrower than what many folks would use. However, any wider, and I'm hooking it on trees.

Thanks for the suggestions, ladies. It's all good stuff!
